Markdown is a way to style text on the web. You control the display of the document; formatting words as bold or italic, adding images, and creating lists are just a few of the things we can do with Markdown. Mostly, Markdown is just regular text with a few non-alphabetic characters thrown in, like # or *.

Here’s an overview of Markdown syntax that you can use anywhere on GitHub.com or in your own text files.

Here’s an example of how you can use syntax highlighting with GitHub Flavored Markdown:

1
function fancyAlert(arg) {
2
if (arg) {
3
  $.facebox({ div: '#foo' })

}

}

And here's how it looks - nicely colored with styled code titles!

Here is a simple footnote[^1]. With some additional text after it.

2
- [x] this is a complete item
3
- [ ] this is an incomplete item

• list syntax required (any unordered or ordered list supported)

You can create tables by assembling a list of words and dividing them with hyphens - (for the first row), and then separating each column with a pipe |:

| First Header                | Second Header                |
| --------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| Content from cell 1         | Content from cell 2          |
| Content in the first column | Content in the second column |

Any word wrapped with two tildes (like ~~this~~) will appear crossed out.
